Transcript:
Rat: You ever heard the expression, "You get the face you deserve?" Pastis: Yeah, why? Rat: Because you must have done something very wrong. Pastis: Please leave me alone. Rat: Did you drown puppies?
Did you ever look in a mirror (that didn’t break), Rat? “People who live in glass faces shouldn’t cast aspersions,” especially not at their omnipotent creators…. (Hey, Cartoon-Boy! How does it feel to be called an “omnipotent creator”?)
“As a beauty I’m not a great star, There are others more handsome by far, But my face, I don’t mind it, Because I’m behind it—’Tis the folks in the front that I jar.”
(Attributed to Woodrow Wilson, but actually by Anthony Euwer)
I am still wanting a face lift (just can’t do it if they insist on strong BP meds along with dropping all my vitamins for a month (take poison and abandon my protection). I’ll just have to hope that if I find the man I want, he’ll like me as I am.

A good friend of mine’s dog actually drowned a week ago, so I found this strip to be a bit of a damper, not going to lie.
(Not complaining at all – I definitely agree that one can find humor in anything. Just the timing with this strip and me was a bit off).

Sorry about your friend’s dog, Spoon.
